Channel Divinity
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following
two Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath class
feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Blade of Sickness. Choose one weapon you are holding. As
an action, you extend your affliction into the weapon, infecting
it. For the next minute, any creature you hit with that weapon
must make a Constitution saving throw or else be poisoned
until the end of your next turn.
You can end this effect on your turn as part of any other
action. If you are no longer holding or carrying this weapon,
or if you fall unconscious, this effect ends.
Horrifying Visage. As a bonus action, you weave an illusion
over yourself which makes the physical symptoms of your
affliction appear much worse. Your flesh might appear to rot,
maggots might appear to crawl out from under your skin, or
blood might appear to drip from your mouth every time you
speak. While you appear this way, you gain a +5 bonus to
Charisma (Intimidation) checks. After 10 minutes, your
appearance returns to normal.
Miasma of Weakness
At 7th level, your affliction has intensified to the point that it
hangs in the air around you, weakening those that breathe it
in. Creatures within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on
Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws to resist
or end effects caused by you.
At 18th level, the range of this miasma increases to 30 feet.
Purge At 15th level, you gain the ability to purge your body of minor afflictions. You can cast lesser restoration on yourself without expending a spell slot, though you cannot choose to end the affliction tied to this oath. You can do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Unburdened Warrior At 20th level, you gain the ability to temporarily suspend the symptoms of your affliction on yourself as an action, allowing you to fight at your full potential. For one minute, you gain the following benefits: Your speed is doubled. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make one additional attack as part of that action. You can apply your ability score modifier twice to the attack and damage rolls of your weapon attacks. You have advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
